Bit off topic of thread. But, in the SEC Championship game yesterday, GD went out of his way to speak to the winning TD in the National Championship game last year against clemson. Forgot, what team it was called on yesterday, but the pick was called a penalty and thats when GD spoke up...
1. We had injuries at LB.
While I do agree getting the starting LB's back will go A LONG ways in stopping Clemson. It simply doesn't end there. Clemson truly is an elite team. They really are and I think you know that as well. They can match us man for man on just about any position on the field. In a detailed breakdown (which JESSN will probably do) they are (man to man) better than us at some positions. But Alabama is better at some positions as well. It's going to take a championship performance to beat them. Not just getting some starters back. They will have to play elite to win. Because one thing Clemson seems to be able to do is "Show Up" in games that matter the past three years or so. This will be a heavy weight title match no doubt. We need to show up with our big boy pants on and show up in a very, very bad mood.
Against Clemson you have got to be able to pass to open up the run game. Otherwise they are going to overload the box and stop the run. Then it will be a long night.
I was referring to running the ball with your running backs and giving them ample amount of carries ...not abandoning the pass...
It's not fiction. It's just folks sharing their thoughts and opinions. Like you did right there.
